Climbing out of EloHell as a jungler

Scríptér··0 votes·1,818 views

Hey guys. I've been fairly new to the ranked system, I have been on league since early season 5 and after achieving over 250 normal wins as a jungle main I have finally decided that am now ready to face the ranked season and have now been trying my hardest to climb the ladder out of bronze. At first I thought I could climb by becoming a support main because I was too shy and nervous to carry by myself, but I realized that without a good adc your pretty much useless unless you can go full AP. So I then decided to start maiming midlane with yasuo, zed, akali, and other assasin-like champions but am often annoyed of no many how many times I try to set a good gank for my jungler they never really come and do it unsuccessfully. I know switching roles and mains a lot may be bad but I want to try and help carry my team as much as possible and becoming a jungler again will help with the ability to roam around the map as much as possible to help all of my team mates but the only problem is that I am not sure which champion to choose anymore and that is where I need your help. As a normals player, I use to play Warwick jungler because he was just so easy and now in ranked I've discovered it's very easy to steal and counter jungle him. I only have a limited amount of IP and I want to buy a good jungler champion to play with but I'm not sure which one to get, should it be ashy Ana with her amazing wave clearance, hecarim with his great movement speed, tankiness and armor penetration, or kha'zix with the ability to become invisible and gank lanes easily. Please post your sugestione below it will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your help!

If I were to give an advice focus on Macro plays instead of microplays. Focus on map rotation and wave control on specific.

I just got out of Bronze this season on my "Fill Only Challenge" and people down there lack so much macroplay. They always want to go for the big teamfight, kill all 5 and then try to take objectives without any kind of previous set up. Learn how to create slow pushing waves or stacking waves , freeze, reset, bounce it or a fast wave on command, and then proceed to learn the use of every type of wave so you can use them when you need.

learn how you are supposed to rotate, is infuriating when you have to give objectives because teammates don't know how to rotate as well.

At low elo's no one punishes weaknesses for the most part, this is what you want to exploit to get your "freelo". A great example of this is master yi. At 450 ip he is cheap, he can carry hard because of mobility and splitpushing, and you don't need to waste time mastering mechanics so you can focus on your macro play. Not to mention if your team mates are potatoes with no follow up you can powerfarm and then splitpush late game. If you don't like yi these are some other champs I'd recomend Amumu Hecarim Udyr Vi Volibear Soraka

Just play Hecarim or Vi, whah else you do doesn't matter since you one shot people with 1-2 damage items and provide a lot of cc

Very cool champions

literally whoever you want. everything works. My personal favorite is twitch jungle. If you took the time to learn that, you'd get out of bronze in like.. one night. no one respects the ganking power of stealth junglers down there. Pick him up. or eve. But it's kinda hard to jungle with them and their clears are pretty bad. look up videos on how before even trying them in normals.
